Chen Siyuan sent Chunping back to the Chen family to see if there was any news, and then sent Chunlan back to the General's Mansion.
Everyone was assigned a task.
Chen Siyuan stood still, waiting for them to send the message back.
Several days have passed since my older brother was discovered missing; there should be some news by now.
She doesn't know exactly who did it, but she knows the general outline. Based on what Yan Yi said, she believes her older brother is probably safe, but whether he's injured is another matter.
Time passed slowly, the sun gradually set, and as night fell, Chen Siyuan's expression darkened once again.
The situation was too complicated for her to handle; she had to stay calm.
Panic won't solve anything; it will only make things worse.
After a long time, Chunlan was the first to arrive.
Chunlan received news from Jiang Ma that Qiaozhen had suddenly received a gift—a handkerchief.
Qiao Zhen felt like she had seen it somewhere before, and then she remembered that Chen Siyuan had a similar one. Qiao Zhen gave the handkerchief to Jiang Ma, who recognized it at a glance.
Since it was evening and another child was being dropped off at the door, with no clues, Chunlan could only take her handkerchief and go find the young mistress first.
Suddenly, Wang Yong arrived.
She arrived carrying a child who had fainted. When Chen Siyuan saw the child and then looked at the handkerchief, she seemed to understand instantly.
Chen Siyuan felt that treating a child like this was inappropriate, but for her older brother's sake, she couldn't worry about that anymore.
After some questioning, Chen Siyuan learned from the child that it was actually Chen Xin who gave Qiao Zhen the handkerchief.
Chen Siyuan closed her eyes.
What a Chen Xin!
Chen Xin is Chen Fan's sister. Chen Fan is a member of Consort Hua's faction. Does this mean that Chen Xin has also become a member of Consort Hua's faction?
Then, considering what Chen Fan had done to Consort Hua, he figured he probably wouldn't win her favor. If Consort Hua's marriage proposal didn't go smoothly, and given that Qiao Zhen and he had a good relationship, it wouldn't be surprising if she used her elder brother to threaten him.
After thinking about it, I realized it might have been done by the Third Prince's men.
Thinking of this, Chen Siyuan immediately spurred his horse and headed towards the Tao family.
If he really is one of the Third Prince's people, Tao Yifan would know the truth, and I should be able to find out the truth by asking him.
She couldn't worry about much else; as long as her older brother was safe, she had nothing to fear.
At that moment, she desperately wanted to see her older brother, and she didn't care about anything else.
She used to try to distance herself from Tao Yifan, but now she's offering herself up to him.
When they arrived at the Tao family home, unfortunately, Tao Yifan was not home, but they met Mrs. Tao instead.
Upon seeing Madam Tao, Chen Siyuan couldn't suppress her disgust, which was immediately apparent on her face.
Unexpectedly, Madam Tao also disliked Chen Siyuan. When she saw Chen Siyuan looking for her son, she immediately hurled insults at him.
"Chen Siyuan, what are you doing here at my Tao family? Do you think you haven't made my Fan'er suffer enough?"
Chen Siyuan had a favor to ask of Tao Yifan and harbored many grievances against Tao Yifan's mother. For the sake of her elder brother, she was willing to bow down to this woman.
He turned to leave.
Suddenly, Madam Tao rushed forward, grabbed Chen Siyuan's hair, and pulled her back forcefully.
Chunlan never expected that Madam Tao would be so barbaric, and by the time she discovered it, it was already too late.
Just as he was about to take action to help the young mistress.
The young mistress's gesture made her stand quietly to the side.
"Madam Tao, you'd better know the consequences of doing this."
"What...what do you mean?"
Chen Siyuan turned slightly, retrieved her hair, and stood firmly in place, her eyes fixed on Madam Tao.
“I am the young mistress of the General’s Mansion, and a first-rank imperial consort. Even though Madam Tao is also a general’s wife, you should be paying me the highest respects given your current rank. I didn’t expect Madam Tao to have such a temper, actually insulting a first-rank imperial consort in public. I wonder if Madam Tao thinks Qiao Yuchen made a mistake by going to the border, or if Madam Tao thinks she can control everything in the capital and humiliate anyone?”
Chen Siyuan's words left Madam Tao speechless.
"If it weren't for Young Master Tao's sake, I think we should ask the Grand Secretary of the Court of Judicial Review to make a proper judgment. If the Grand Secretary happens to be busy, we could also ask Lord Su of the Court of Judicial Review to make a trip."
"You...you shouldn't talk nonsense?"
"Whether it's nonsense or not, we'll find out once they come here," Chen Siyuan said, looking at Chunlan beside her. "Go and invite the Grand Secretary and Lord Su to come together, so that Madam Tao knows what the laws of our Shang Kingdom are, and also what the consequences will be for insubordination."
"yes."
Chunlan responded and prepared to leave.
Upon seeing this scene, Madam Tao gritted her teeth in hatred and knelt on the ground with a thud. "Are you satisfied now?"
That little bitch actually came to the Tao family to humiliate me, she deserves to die!
With her status, she's not even qualified to marry into the Tao family. Even if she gets into the General's Mansion, so what? Let's see how long you can live a carefree life.
It won't be too late for her to kill this woman later.
Chunlan stood there, amused, watching Madam Tao kneel down. Serves her right!
How you bullied our young mistress back in Nancheng, this time, you'll kneel down when I tell you to.
Chen Siyuan didn't want to argue with this person, but when she saw the malice in Madam Tao's eyes, she couldn't control herself and bowed her head, saying, "Don't you cherish your son the most? I can make him wish he were dead!"
Madam Tao trembled and suddenly looked up at Chen Siyuan, only to meet her cold smile.
Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat. Could it be?
"I will never forget what happened in the South City."
"you......"
"Does Madam Tao still remember Princess Qiya? I remember the first time I met Princess Qiya, it was thanks to Madam Tao's help."
